#so so sorry for the essay anon. this ask was the equivalent of a free pass to talk forever to me

I love your unhealthy clingy famous MC you don't understand how feral I'm over him

THANK YOU I LOVE HIM SO DEARLY TOO!!!!! the backstory with absent parents and just. everything about seven... i think makes a lot of infamous ocs potentially lean into this?? or at least there are a ton of choices that just made me go "oh yeah. that's him" . idk there is an element to how infamous is written that really helps with characterising him, including how customisable it is, and i do love that about this IF!!!!! crying about him below the cut <3

aki kind of navigates the world worried his loved ones will leave him and is a little too clingy because of it. he also has been playing those worries off by being charming, flirty and funny. like he can somehow project this hyper-extrovered version of himself and try to make people love that !!! he drops that more around his bandmates/friends, but not in front of people he's just met (please guess who accidentally escalated the bed fight on the tour bus)

aki also hooks up with people a lot, just cause he likes sex but also because he enjoys the no-strings-attached. because of those attachment issues, when he gets something that feels black and white to him, something one-and-done and he leaves in the morning, he can just. take feelings out the equation. he knows its not meant to last so he can just walk out (leave! hit da bricks!!! walk out!!!!!)

committing to a romantic relationship . you can imagine. is a little complicated due to all this LMFAO he just overthinks and worries before even getting into it, regardless of if it's reciprocated or not. between the one time he's actually into someone (seven) and how that ended (...badly) + the fact that deliriously avoiding commiting to anything except hookups = very little (none at all) actual dating experience. aki has no idea to deal with it and will balk. yeah this is immature of him but i have plans to make this guy character develop so hard throughout the course of infamous that he may implode

i love the genre of character where they're just going "i know i have a few issues, who doesn't, but honestly i think i'm well adjusted!!" <- they are not well adjusted. in fact they're worse than they think

also no one asked for the orionmance essay i sent my friend but here it is <3

#the seven not-a-breakup can actually completely hinder your mc too <3 #aki just internalises it. OF COURSE not blaming seven for feeling abandoned and then leaving. literally they get voted out #regardless of if the pc votes for or against. but aki never expected seven to walk out of his life and it adds to his issues #i am very much leaning towards the valenreign poly and orion because of the aforementioned tho #vic and him have so much like. common ground in that projection and performance . g's drive and passion is i think the same #also g /picking/ him. vic enjoying his music. that means everything to him. to be seen for what he values in himself #very fun and very chaotic but they fall into place . i dont think aki would have expected it but he wouldn't change it #orion i think nudges him constantly into being a more. true version of himself. like just more genuine #also has something about him that makes aki just. blurt out the truth of how he feels. LOL. #akihiro yasumi #so so sorry for the essay anon. this ask was the equivalent of a free pass to talk forever to me #on that note. big fat mouth arlie is in his playlist. 'that comment wasn't funny/just wanted you to love me' dear god. #also oc aki that exists outside (and existed before) infamous is so much less. like This #him in infamous is a lot of his personality dialed up to 11 bc of the circumstances he's in (almost-famous lead singer) #and also a result of the pre-written backstory and how he'd react to that #he's literally just a hairdresser. his best friend is a office worker. they are each others wingmen. they will die embarassing each other #he also has siblings but infamous kind of drags him out of a doting older brother figure and directly into #.... well. the pc's parents. sorry aki #answered #anon

hey anon from the clothing ask here~

i meant the mobian culture around clothing but you can pick the one that you like more! :)

sorry for not clarifying

Ofc ofc !!!! You're all good Anon 🫶🏾 forgive me if I take a bit to answer this ask, I need to organize my thoughts into words lol as of me writing this sentence I'm trying to condense an essays worth of writing into somewhat easily consumable bullet points.

Hope this is to your liking 🫶🏾🫶🏾

Gloves

I've been Headcanoning gloves are worn for decency's sake, as in they are the Mobian equivalent to undergarments for humans, but I hadn't really put more thought into it than that

I'm sure it's either for practical reasons, or it's more of an emotional trust type of thing.

For example, cats typically don't let you pet their stomach or their paws unless they're sleeping and they leave them exposed to you, hence trusting you.

Or, animals typically don't all experience touch the same way. Some bugs can taste with their hands and feet, and I'm sure it'd be uncomfortable to be tasting every single hand you've ever held. So, gloves.

I'm also sure there are plenty of animals who are highly sensitive to touch or temperature, which would also make accidentally bumping hands in the street uncomfortable

I understand that, as someone who's touch averse and germaphobic I completely understand the need for everyone to wear gloves.

I'm sure some Mobians wear them less than others, like deer (idk much about deer so I could be wrong) probably can't feet much through hooves, and I'm sure their Mobian counter parts have hands but maybe the low amount of nerve endings carry over

Maybe it's more of a politeness thing? Like not wearing gloves in public is a bit of a dick move, because even if it doesn't affect you personally it could affect the person you're next to.

I also don't think young kids have to wear gloves. Have you ever tried to get shoes on a toddler who hates them, and will just take them off and lose them anyway? It's a lot of work for zero reward

You obviously have to teach your kids to wear them though. Especially once they start hitting about preschool age...

..But I'm just spit balling here lol

Clothes

I definitely think clothes are a human influence, Mobians don't really wear clothes generally. Most of our cast wears like- shoes and gloves + a jacket at most

Even Sally's original design followed that pattern

I think Mobians who grew up around humans, or have at least spent a long time around humans have adapted to wearing clothes most of the time.

Take Amy who has always worn clothes, and has basically always been in a city, compared to Sonic and Tails, who have always been living fast and free, yk?

Or Knuckles who grew up on a secluded floating island compared to Rouge who literally has a government job lol

Ofc, Shadow exists, and he doesn't wear clothes but he's also this half alien science experiment on immortality who grew up in space and then was put into stasis for 50 years and then suffered from severe memory loss

So... I feel like he may be a huge outlier lol...

I'm sure clothing for Mobians is a huge tell on where everyone's from, because Mobians from Holoska, Empire, Soleanna, and Spagonia, do not all dress the same, even if the patterns on their coat are similar

Basically the same thing people do when it comes to cultural clothing and skin color

I think it'd be cool if Mobians would've naturally progressed into face paints and hair(fur?) dye instead of clothes without human interference

Other

I was thinking about animal habits that carry over to their Mobians counterparts, then I started thinking about crows lol

Crow type Mobians, no matter where they live or are from, would typically gravitate toward maximalism and shiny garbs. But then I was like... Okay that's cool but where do stereotypes begin and instincts end?

Then I learned that crows might not actually collect shiny things and that it's probably a myth and decided to apologize to the crow Mobians I made up for stereotyping them lol

My question still stands though !! I also feel like someone asking a Mobian something along the lines of "So do you wear necklaces because wild crows like to collect shiny things?" Would be more of a human thing lol

I feel like Mobians in general have a better understanding of each other's instincts than humans do, which can definitely lead to inappropriate questions

But crows are still hoarders though... So maybe if raised by their own they all do tend to wear a maximalist style, but then would that end up being nature or nurture?

And THEN I was talking to my girlfriend about this and she was like, "well maybe these hypothetical crows all grew up hearing these stories about their ancestors that could be true or false, but they've just been honoring this traditionally shiny clothing for so long that it's second nature"

and was like wow.... And now there's even more questions to ask and we've been talking about hypothetical crows for a long time and I feel like we're getting too far from the original point bc now we're getting into specifics instead of more broad topics

But I figured I'd put it here anyways

#sth #sonic the hedgehog #i have the mic #asking and answering #sonic headcanons #headcanons #i love world building. this isn't even close to everything i could talk about. thank you sm for the ask #i needed to cut off the post somewhere or else i would go on forever #archie sonic #sonic #sth headcanons #sth hcs #sonic fanfiction #i didnt even talk about sticks the badger but i could've

[lilpuffyart]

I do not care that it is 3am, I must see Puffy talk about Count The Ways and sudden headcannons about their AU and give them quiet anon support. Take my quiet clapping. *quietly claps bcz its 3am* (-KA)

Okay

You've doomed yourself (a part I did at 3am and the other part I did now at 11am)

!!LONG POST AHEAD!! (Kind reminder that I do love the story but I still like to make fun of some parts)

IN THE FIRST FUCKING LINE, "deep voice" w h e r e where that crackhead energy voice is d e e p. I can accept threatening but d e e p???????????????????

Also I'm still upset that "silly millie" is "millie pamonha (that is a Brazilian food)" in the unofficial Portuguese translation

Second page and we discover millie belongs to the gays when she said "in tribute to the beautiful dead girl from edgar Allan Poe's poem" (she was talking about her cat name and I'm sorry if it's not the correct wording: its 3am and I have a stroke everytime I read some part of the book, also I don't have the English version :c)

Who's Curt Carrion?? Who's he based on??? My Chemical Romance?????? I would prefer if it was Evanescence tho for personal gay reasons ✊😔

Her grandpa has a sword collection and that's pretty neat, but makes me wonder if FunFred ever walked around the house with a fucking sword and everyone was okay with it

Grandpa: you're always so pale

Millie: lmao that's the point

Me 🤝 millie

Liking edgar allan poe

Also Millie's grandpa is millie's mom's dad?? Since he mentions that she would stay outside burning in the sun when she was 14-15yo

Also he's supportive of her disliking meat, we stan an old man ✊😔

THE COOKIES R BACK!!!!!!!! I still think daily about FunFred trying to cook it and messing it up smh even if grandpa is there. Also the fact she ate her grandpa cookies after he left makes me happy fsr

He mentions the workshop 😳😳 is he already aware FunFred is awake?? Who knows 👀👀

I know the timeline doesn't fit, but I like to think Dylan and Millie knew each other for more than a week

FUNFRED!!! LIKES MILLIE!!!!!! WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!!!!!!!

Millie honestly reminds me of when I was on high school and my depression peeked lmao I wanna hug her-

THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER IS A GREAT STORY I LOVE IT

I HAVE WAY TOO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT HOW FUNFRED/THE ANIMATRONICS WORK BC OF A DUMB DRAWING I DID 1 YEAR AGO- like oil is the equivalent of blood to them and they do have water inside them, what keeps their mechanisms and stuff working well. Also when they r "sleeping" its extremely quiet, till they "woke up" and slowly their mechanisms do a lot of noise, till it calms down

Funfred has been around before millie moved there, and was probably awoken since then bc he heard her talking SO, from her bedroom window, u can see the workshop bc that's the only way he heard her (and she heard him later on)

Also I KNOW it wasn't like that but when her grandpa asked if the person he met was a boy or a girl I could literally only think "damnn a supportive grandpa, I love him" so that's where I'm goiNG

He mentions he went to university SOOOOOO what IF he and henry went to the same university and both did something related to mechanic/mathematic and that's how they became close friends 👀👀 (I am aware he was a mathematic teacher but he still could have done both or started mechanic, dropped it and started to study mathematic)

Also I lowkey wish we knew what her grandma died of

ALSO I like to think FunFred himself is someone that is scared of doing things himself instead of... just letting things go

I love how, when millie asked if he was going to bite her neck (bc he was talked about Dracula) he just wenT "OH YAY I COULD DO THAT BUT U R IM MY STOMACH" FJFJFJXHXJJCJCGKFJFJFJFJ I HATE HIMMMM

Here we go to FunFred's hyperfixation ✊😔 I'm sure that, whenever millie goes to the library, he begs her to bring some kind of history book

The fact millie doesn't know how to say Chutlu is big gay energy and everyone energy

COUNT THE WAYS AU IS NAMED COUNT THE WAYS BC IT'S THE MANY WAYS FUNFRED LOVES MILLIE AND GRANDPA AND IN THAT ESSAY ILL DIE AND COMBUST

Me, a veterinary student: Hahah I know what's ventricular fibrillation is

Idk why but I like to think millie studied something related to literature in university, but, if she did end up working on a library, I think people would 1. Be creeped out by FunFred 2. Think he's cute, no inbetween

Me 🤝 grandpa

Going somewhere bc it has free food

WHY IS EVERYONE SO MEAN TO HER SHE'S LITERALLY A TEENAGER STOP BEING LIKE THAT WTF???

That part of that party makes me emotional bc something similar happened with me (not related to a s/o other tho)

FunFred is back being a dumbass I love/hate him

Unpopular opinion but I still strongly dislike millie's family

FunFred would buy a guillotine online ngl

In Millie's defense I would crawl inside an animatronic bear as well

POV: you're rob, millie's uncle, and you found out the worst way that she has a bear guard body, in a way (I hate rob honestly lmao)

That was my presentation, thank you for your attention

#anyway i love that silly book about a silly bear and his silly friend #anon #ask #KA #count the ways

1//3 Hiya, I need a bit of help. So, I can tell VM have deeper edges than PC most of the time but I don't understand the "floaty" quality most PC allude to when talking about their skating skills. I mean I can see their floatiness when I superficially see their programs but when I really focus on their feet I can see the shallow/flat edges, glitchy edge changes and sloppy exits from lifts. So, it leaves me wondering where their floatiness comes from. Is it because P wears flowy dresses and

2/3 lets her Hair down. Or because flatter edges helps give their skate that flowy look? Or do they really have better skating skills than VM. Like most people say VM have better skating skills than PC but TSL once said that one of the BESP guys thought PC had better SS. I guess, I wanna know IF PC does have better SS then what exact techniques make them better? So, I know what to look for. Cuz from zoomed in, slowmo gifs so far I feel like VM have better SS (deeper edges, smoother edge changes

3/3 good knee bend (tho my concept of knee bend isn’t fully clear). Sorry for the essay; tl;dr why do PC have superficial floatyness? Is it just a look or are they technically better? If so, what are those ‘techniques" they are doing better? Please answer if you’re able, I really wanna learn more on this.

ok anon this is such a good q that i though about it for 2 weeks and still don’t have a good enough answer lol

floaty quality - i think it’s the overall feeling that is floaty, not the ss. and for the feeling the things you mention count - yes floaty dresses, hair down. they r young and “lightweight” - like if you look at vm’s Mahler, umbrellas or valse triste they r v floaty too. ofc the height difference helps pc cause he can throw gabi around and it looks “light” and floaty. but then if u look at their pre-2015 progs, none of that floaty quality is there - so packaging is v important - the right music and all the things you mentioned before. + speed - they really do get great speed now (which is a ss in itself but then i talked before about parallel movement in their progs). + choreography - v precise arm movements 

like how much more sophisticated is this

compared to this

wrists, fingers - these details create the airy quality now.

and the ‘changes in levels’ - reacting to every note in music (now this is when u know im not a native speaker cause i cant explain this in english lol - basically the knee bend but also the core movement - their high-to-low movement is v accentuated, especially gui’s). those ‘changes in levels’ r v precise tho, like inhale-exhale movement, and at the same time they allow their movements to breathe, pause in every position for a moment (watch zagitova for some contrast lol). 

inhale

exhale

and they (gui esp) use their whole body for that - shoulders, head, and knees. so with that up and down movement the whole program has a constant wavy flow. i think that what makes them have the ~airy quality.

re ss - lol no pc’s are not better than vm’s, it was probably mark hanretty stanning pc as per usual - it’s the equivalent of asking jonathan beyer to weigh in on the two teams’ skating skills lmao. they do have good ss tho contrary to popular opinion here. gabi has issues with extending her free leg and her knee bend is not as good as tessa’s but they’ve been getting their levels - yes gabi occasionally catches a flat edge but should i post a screenshot of t’s choctaw edge at the olys ie (i don’t want to tho so i won’t lol). the real strength of pc is gui ofc, he is a superb skater and has amazing balletic qualities, his extensions are always precise (scott’s are too but gui’s long limbs make it more noticeable) but mostly his control of his core paired with flexibility and his knee bend - he always uses his whole body.

(look how much more control over his neck he has than gabi - hers is tense while his looks more relaxed but that’s down to control)

(look how low he goes - his core is almost parallel to the ice - now that’s something i don’t recall even Scott doing when skating)

same here

and again, i love his attention to arms. 

but i digress.

to sum up, i haven’t really got an answer LOL. 

#OMG this took me forever and a day #and aint nobody gonna read this coz its long af plus everybody hates pc and those who dont wont like me dissecting their magic so #anon i was really going on a limb for u here so u better read this #pc
